Whats the value of these coins?

The 1887 shilling is the commonest of the Jubilee head shillings as it was the first year of issue and many were put aside as souvenirs. The lower one is in much better condition than the other.

There are variations to watch out for, which I am not up on, so I would leave it to others to identify if you have any there.

Value is better than silver value (0.925), but I have not watched these dates at auction for some years, so hopefully someone else can chip in.

My EF 1887 Jubilee was £17 

By comparison my EF 1887 Young Head (they made both that year) was £33.

Melt is currently £8.55.

Ah  !

So prompted by Paddy I delved back into a box of duplicates, high grades & oddities that are to good to part with, I wasn't sure if I had any variations of the 1887 Shilling, I don't have the young head, only the second portrait.....none in the duplicate box...aha I did find another 1872 this one has the Die No 29....Memo: this was kept as at some point you could be assed to move the coins to create a space so Die No 29 will slot in with the other 1872.....!?!? it also has a deformed N in Britanniar ....

....Yes a Rabbit Hole...but its a ocd world I seem to be living in.... 😟
